2007/46/EC) and is constructed to include living accommodation which contains at least the
following equipment:
 seats and table,
 sleeping accommodation which may be converted from the seats,
 cooking facilities, and
 storage facilities.
The equipment must be rigidly fixed to the living compartment; however, the table may be
designed to be easily removable.
Motor Caravans or Motor Homes are charged VRT at 13.3% (VRT Category B) of the open

I would imagine that sprinter is right, but I think that sink may be necessary.
Have a bit of look on donedeal and look at photos of the adds. You would see the most commonly used items in conversions.

Re: Definition of a kitchen for VRT inspection.

My van has a single convection ring and a combi/micro/grill/oven. The ring had to be screwed down and fixed in place but otherwise there have been no issues with cvrt.
I think the sink etc has to be fixed too. In other words the whole kitchen must not be removable so the vehicle can be used as a commercial.

Some folks do try to pull that one to get cheaper tax/insurance for commercial vans. It's the reason so many toll tags produce problems for van conversions.
Camera operators at tolls will retrospectively change a vehicle classification from M/H to commercial if the vehicle looks like a van!
I had to give up on toll-tags for that reason.
I now pay cash at all tolls. All except the M50 where I have a video account that does auto number plate recognition.
(No other toll booth operators do that, which is why your toll bill can be changed to charge 3.90 instead of 1.90.)

Retired but still writing and looking forward to continued windmill tilting in van called Rocinante 6.
